A Look Back at Knitting 2011

I have to say that I am amazed at how much knitting I got done in 2011.  More importantly, when I look at my Ravelry site, I am amazed at how many completed projects are on view there for 2011.  Very few UFO's for this past year!  I find I am becoming more focused on what I am knitting and really try to finish one project before going on to the next.  It helps to be knitting for young grandchildren knowing that these projects need to be finished quickly before they grow out of them.   Here's a few of  my projects:

Two Maize sweaters for my son and grandson:


                                                                                   

A poncho and sweater for Maeve:

                                                                     

                                                                           
                                                 
 Hats, socks and the Donner Pass Cowl:


                                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                 



The Blueleaf headband and the Shawl Collared Vest:

   

       
    You can see the rest on my Ravelry site.  My first project for the New Year is the Sweetheart Pullover for my grandaughter Maeve:

 
This is done in AslanTrends Del Cerro and I happened to find some on sale in a perfect color for a Sweetheart sweater:

                                                                                                                             
Happy New Year everybody!  It's Fiber Arts Friday so go check out what the Fiber Arts gang has been up to this week on Andrea's Wisdom Begins in Wonder site.

    WoW! Lots of great projects. I love the sweaters. I am in total awe of anyone who can finish one sweater let alone multiple. I have a sweater that's been in time out for over a year. I really need to finish it. Maybe 2012.

    Happy New Year!

    All of your projects are incredible, but I'm especially drooling over those stripey socks!

    You have great models for your knitting. I think my next project is a similar colorway as your Del Cerro, haven't decided on a pattern yet.

    Happy New Year!

    The, uh ... "Donner Pass" cowl? I'm curious why it's named that?

    Love Your STUFF!! Especially the Socks! All I've managed to do is Hats...

    BTW, I like working with ASLAN yarn too - bought a ton of GUANACO [alpaca/merino] this summer on sale! I started a "project" with some of it, but IT's still in the developmental stages... I really should get back to IT!

    Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
